How to Spin It
What does it take to spin today’s scandals and successes?
Welcome to How to Spin It, a podcast about the people shaping perception, those working behind the scenes to build and direct the stories we see around businesses, brands and individuals.
Hosted by me, Kayleigh-Anne Soryal, this series explores modern communication, and the space between intention, interpretation, and influence.

Ambition and Burnout: Building a Different Way of Working with Lee Griffith
This episode is about ambition and what it’s like to operate for years in high-pressure communications roles. I’m joined by Lee Griffith, founder of sunday skies, to reflect on her career in senior communications roles and the shift that led her to retrain and build a different way of working.
Lee spent nearly two decades working in communications across large public sector environments most recently as a Communications Director. We talk about advising leaders, navigating expectations in PR, and the judgement calls that come with senior roles.
The conversation also explores her decision to step away from corporate life, retrain as a coach, and how she now supports people to (un)learn leadership, ambition and responsibility in work and life.
About the guest
Lee Griffith is the founder of sunday skies. After almost 20 years in senior communications roles across large public sector organisations, Lee retrained as a coach and now works with people who care a lot to (un)learn the rules that were never written with them in mind, so they can lead, work and live on their own terms.
